Local Students Represent EECA On Youth Tour To Washington, D.C.

Two local high school students represented Egyptian Electric Cooperative Association on the 2025 Youth Tour to Washington, D.C. Madison Voss of Murphysboro High School and Harlan Whiteford of Marion High School joined 2,000 students from across the country for the weeklong leadership trip in June.

The tour included visits to Gettysburg, the U.S. Capitol, and the White House. Both students also took part in the student-run Chip 'n' Pop Coop, gaining firsthand experience in cooperative leadership.

Applications for next year’s tour are available at eeca.coop.
